Bogotá Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

I love coffee, so I had to do the Coffee Tasting tour with Laura! I had been to a plantation near Medellin, but did not find this tour repetitive. I loved finding the flavour notes in the coffee, learning about the coffee regions of the world, and specifically where our coffee came from in Columbia. We did two cafés that were each run by the family of the plantation and were from different regions. The first was in a beautiful setting and the coffee was pleasant. A good every day coffee. The second coffee tasting was so detailed by the staff, from pouring, measuring and tasting. I even stayed after to have a latte and journal! Laura was a great guide and knew her coffee. I really learned about how to read labels on coffee bags, checking for the kind of bean, is it mixed, when it was picked, etc. The QR codes on the bag gave very detailed information. I was the only client and Laura took me around the communities and telling me about their history, and pointed out some Embassies. It was a bit of a distance, but worth it. Maybe doing one in the Candelaria region would be good. I found a coffee shop that only used beans from Huila the next day!

Excellent hike with jorge. 6km of undulating paths which were a bit slippy. Big stick definitely helped me. Amazing waterfalls, scenery and birdlife. Lunch was lovely. One of the best short hikes I’ve done

Hands tour is reliable and professional with different languages with lots of experience .

I had a private tour with Gigio on my first day in Bogotá. What a great food tour and introduction into the city! The food was amazing!!! While walking through many fantastic and interesting neighborhoods, I learned all kinds of history about both the city of Bogotá and the country of Columbia. He spent the time to explain the different regions of Columbia and what to expect depending on the kind of tourist getaway that we would want in the future (ex: jungle eco lodge, beach resort, animal safari, or archaeological ruins). I’m definitely coming back to this wonderful & diverse country! Thank you, Gigio.

Juan Camilo was our tour guide excellent bloke he went beyond the call of duty. He also speaks English very well. I would advise anyone going to Bogota Colombia and needs a tour guide and a interpretor this is the man from start to finish. Well it be Medical, Business or Holiday you need this tour guide.

Jorge was a fabulous guide for this hike. It's not too difficult but is undulating, so if you're a regular hiker you'll be fine.Booking this tour takes the hassle out of transportation and gives you an opportunity learn more about Colombia from a local.

We had a great time at the Coffee Farm Experience Day Tour. Everything was well organised and clearly communicated. The tour itself was informative and engaging - thank you!

This Bogota Pub Crawl was so so much fun. Lina was very knowledgeable and the group was a lot of fun. Perfect for a solo traveler who is willing to get out of their comfort zone. We were able to skip the line at several busy bars/clubs. Very well run and would definitely rebook every time back.

Great way to experience Bogota during my long layover. Easily connected with my guide and driver at the airport and determined the itinerary based on my interests. Saw many sites and points of interests that gave me a chance to really see the various aspects of Bogota during my limited stay. My guide Raul was very knowledgeable and informative about the history and neighborhoods of Bogota. Having a separate driver with a roomy, clean, and modern car was so helpful for us to maximize my excursion time. Great experience all around!

We were in Bogota for a long 10 hour layover. We had never been to Colombia and the guide service made us feel at ease. He picked us promptly and we headed out to the salt cathedral. On the trip out there, the conversation was engaging and focused on the incredible history of Colombia. We never tired of the knowledge he had!! We had a delicious lunch prior to our private tour of the cathedral. He allowed us to take our time, visit the shops, ask questions and stand in awe of it all. We had time before heading back to the airport to stroll the village streets and pop into some local shops. The drive back was smooth as he continued to share bits of information of sites we passed. We’ve been on several long layover tours and this was hands down the best. From the communication prior to the trip down to getting us back to the airport with plenty of time to go back through security lines, we couldn’t recommend this service enough. We will be back for sure!

Excellent experience with Hansa TourMy husband and I booked a tour of La Candelaria with Hansa Tour, including visits to the Gold Museum and the Botero Museum, and we were truly delighted with the experience.From the very beginning, the information provided by the agency was always accurate, clear, and timely. We particularly appreciated how well organized and punctual the communication was, both during the booking process and in the days leading up to the tour.A special thank you goes to Esteban, our guide, who was absolutely excellent: very knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and attentive. He was able to adapt perfectly to our pace and, at the same time, tailor the tour to our interests, making the experience both enjoyable and fascinating. The transportation service was also impeccable, thanks to our driver.We highly recommend Hansa Tour to anyone who wants to discover Bogotá with a professional, reliable, and attentive agency. We would definitely recommend both the agency and its services to anyone visiting Bogotá!

Our plans changed at the last minute due to a flight cancellation, which left us with quite a long layover in Bogotá. We decided to make the most of the extra time and book this tour and we’re so glad we did!Raul was a fantastic guide and did an amazing job of showing us as much of Bogotá as our time allowed. Everything was really well organised, including private transport to and from the airport, which made the whole experience incredibly easy and stress-free.We loved walking around the city, exploring the different neighbourhoods, learning about the local culture and stopping along the way to try some delicious Colombian food.It turned what could have been a frustrating day stuck at the airport into a suprising exploring day of a city we never thought we would get to explore. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone with a layover in Bogotá and especially recommend Raul as your guide!

Nat was an amazing guide and told us lots about Bogotá and Colombia as well as the food. It's was a great chance to try delicious food but also to see places around la Candelaria you wouldn't otherwise know we're there as well as the well known spots. Come very hungry because you'll be absolutely stuffed afterwards.
